1. 2 Showers...

   

   Discussion by antoto · January 2014 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

   Hey ladies! I am my good friend's MOH. She has been engaged for nearly 2 years so I have had a lot of time to plan the bridal shower for her. Her wedding is in March and she told me she preferred to have her shower the day before her wedding so that all of her friends and family would be in town. She also was…

   I agree with the " bridal luncheon" thing ... I'd be annoyed to get the invite to 2 showers

   I would be a little annoyed if I got invited to 2 showers for the same person unless I was her mom or something.

   I agree but extend it to mom, grandmas, FMIL, sisters, FSILS and WP. But in our family it is a courtesy and everyone knows a gift is not expected at each shower, even though us sisters and mom always have gifts for each. We have a big family and if you have showers you typically have 2 or 3 and it's more so the immediate…

   This is tough! Technically it's fine for a bride to have 2 (or more) showers, but people shouldn't be invited to more than 1 (unless they're in the bridal party or maybe a mother/sister). I would recommend reaching out ASAP and comparing guest lists! It sounds like you sent her your guest list, but you should make sure to…

   I wouldn't call it a shower- a bridal tea/ brunch (mmmm)/ luncheon would be much more fitting. Prior to coming on here and understanding the point of bridal showers, (I had never been to one prior to hosting my sister's) my sister didn't want people to feel obligated to bring her a gift. I sent our recipe cards, and asked…

   Hmmm it doesn't sound like it would be possible to combine them then. I like the idea from PP about framing your "shower" as a bridal luncheon or tea. Since she doesn't want gifts anyway, this might be a nice compromise. It sounds like what you're planning is lovely- I would see about reframing it as a lunch, that might…

   This would be reasonable.

   Well what you are throwing her is not really a shower since there will be no gifts involved. What you are throwing her is more of a bridal luncheon. So she isn't having two showers she is having one shower and then a luncheon. I would ask her FSIL who all she is inviting and then maybe tone your guest list down to the…

    I asked her and reasked her several times and that's when she wants it.
